It's a great example of cyberpunk aesthetic. If you are a fan of Blade Runner, The Matrix, Cyberpunk 2077, Dark City, Batman Beyond, Rick and Morty, et cetera, then it is worth a watch. Personally I think it's a stone cold masterpiece. The score itself is just unreal.

Edit: The voice acting is in Japanese. There are probably numerous dubs out there. I watched the subtitled version on Hulu.

I think I got... most of that?
Anyway if we're doing suggestions here's a book one:
Illuminae. It's just awesome in general and I think it's sci-fi. It's in the future, a planet with a technically illegal mine gets attacked by a corporation (hmm....) who wants to take advantage of that and..... things just go wrong. But you should read it. (then we can argue about who the best character is)
